My Love’s Travail

My love’s travail

The falling Star chasing the demonic dragon,
Of the Fallon One into depths of ambiguity.
Can one go in just to re-emerge,
On the external inverted...

Maundy Thursday

MAUNDY THURSDAY

A full moon at position 10.
Was there such that sorrowful e'en?

Did God shine down on Son with moon
So full the earth that day did swoon?

That sorrowful e'en of Christ's commit'ent,
To purge man's sin in full...

Life

LIFE

All of us are given life-
And a space in which to live it.
There’s a botta poured out for you
Of choices, needs, and riches-
For you to pare...

I Walk in a Song

I Walk in a Song
 
 
I walk in a song,
 
But there’s no music,
 
It’s in my mind.
 
 
 
Blue skies, birds,
 
The Yellow Sea;
 
Blessings of mine.
 
 
 
Fountains and waterfalls,
 
Cuckoo Birds,
 
And textured rocks.

Good Night

Good Night

Dogs barking east, south, and north,
A cacophony of basses, baritones, and tenors,
But one whippoorwill slicing incessantly through the...

Gastrostomy

Gastrostomy
Is propensity
A precursor
To profligacy?

Extended stomachs
Bursting belts
Yet jovial indifference;

Can dietetic didaction
Dissuade bodily...

Fire Island

FIRE ISLAND

Walking the dunes,
Picking up stones,
Seashells are not my forte’.

Those I see are pretty, but, common
Dear Lessie reminds me.
She sees shells I don’t.
The artist’s eye.
I hie a blind...

Delectable

Delectable

Soft and supple
Hard and hairy
Juicy dripping
Gently gripping

Red and swollen
Rebirth succulent
Hanging low
Banging slow

Falling gently
Wind contracted
Multi-colored
Size adored

Bon Natalle

Bon Natalle

Green trees, gray squalor,
Sidewalks slopping with trash,
paper and boxes,
and castaway clothing,
food that is only half...

Aflight

AFLIGHT

10,000 feet and I see clearly defined homesteads, roads, and even people walking about.

20,000 feet and it’s patterns and lights, large moving vehicles.

60,000 feet and above I see only patterns of mountains and...

Relative to Nothing

Relative to nothing,
Your blue eyes illuminate
Your facial radiance
Crowned with flaming red vistas.
 
Freckles like sparkling stars,
Mammaliar perfection,
And I my eyes must avert?
Et impossible madame.
 
Que belle la femme
Mon coeur...

Suenos

Dreams of you
Walking with me
Not chatting
But speaking when necessary

Two spirits
Embedded in one

Transcending reality
To find some
Meaning to
A trivialized...

Night Sky

Stars shooting
Straight lines
Oppositional
Undetermined direction

Multitudinal
Shooting short lines
L-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ng lines

Minute explosion in wonder
So vast
Almost unimaginable

Spring

Sitting of the front porch at midnight
In perfectly cool calm weather
With a full moon
And star-filled blue skies.

Just a bit of traffic noise
And a whip-poor-will in the distance
Only occasionally a sound of a human;
It’s just like...

In abject stillness
Clouds softly creep

Gently a soft breeze
Advances through the trees
Awakening each little leaf and...

Falling Stars

Falling stars don’t follow any pattern
They fall any direction they want.
Perhaps it’s God cleaning up the firmament, universe....
